Dr Margarita Kitova-John

After more than a decade as a front-line GP, I’ve come to understand that many chronic health issues stem from the demands of modern living, the food we eat, the stress we carry, and the environment we inhabit.

I truly believe that most of these conditions are both preventable and, in many cases, reversible with the right interventions. The human body has a remarkable ability to repair itself when given the right support.

My role as a doctor is to help you understand those signals, replenish the body’s reserves, and guide it back to balance. "
